This is probably caused by the changes I made to the dynamic linker on November 28-29. Mule is based on emacs, and there were definite problems with emacs. I am looking for a fix. Meanwhile, if you need to build or run mule, please revert your dynamic linker to the version from around November 25. To do that, replace the following files in src/gnu/usr.bin/ld/rtld with the specified revisions, and do a "make cleandepend; make depend; make all install". Makefile 1.24 malloc.c 1.8 rtld.c 1.49 sbrk.c 1.4 See if you don't know how to get old versions of files. The bug is in emacs/mule, not in the dynamic linker. But I'm sorry for the hassle anyway.
